One half each

Throughout the close season, we'll be looking back at every one of the Red & Whites' matches in 2014-2015. On 22 October, AS Monaco were held to a goalless stalemate against Benfica at the Stade Louis-II in the third game of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

After beating Leverkusen and collecting a point in St Petersburg, the double-header with Benfica turned out to be somewhat trickier. It began at the Stade Louis-II with a goalless draw, which both sides had chances to win. The Monegasques dominated the opening period and squandered a golden opportunity (with Ocampos missing an open goal inside five minutes), but the Portuguese side were dangerous in the second half, with Gaitan going close with a powerful shot on the hour mark. Fortunately for the Red & Whites, Danijel Subasic produced an impressive reflex save to keep it out. For the third successive game, AS Monaco kept a clean sheet, but their failure to score saw them replaced by Bayer Leverkusen at the top of Group C.
